Publishers Who Require an Up Front Payment

A note published on LinkedIn as well since after working hard on my academic and history books – L’esploratore del Duce, 12 years; Mussolini’s Explorer, 2 – I feel outraged. I received two spamming and expensive glossy letters by this publisher, Gruppo Editoriale Albatros (never heard before) to publish paying an up front payment of 2,780 Eu (200 copies)!
I have always been paid to make research and to write, I wuld never pay to work!

And it would be useless money, it’s not even an investment. And I explain why.
